A firm favourite in the hospice calendar for many years now, this event is only made possible through the generosity of the Mackaness family.

We will enjoy a cosy carol service in Rudding’s chapel, led by Reverend Matthew Evans from Christ Church, Harrogate, with John Longstaff and the choir of St Peter’s Church providing the music. We are also delighted to welcome special guests, Hospice Ambassador, Countess Charlotte Peel DL and Hospice Trustee, Dr Nick Palmerley, who will deliver our Christmas readings this year.

After the concert, we will move through to the Radcliffe Room for a delicious three course festive dinner, with Your Harrogate’s Nick Hancock as MC for the evening. There will be a chance to meet the other guests, take part in the raffle, Tree of Life and auction and raise a glass to the continued work of the hospice.
